Idoptilus is an extinct genus of palaeodictyopterans known from the Westphalian B subage of the United Kingdom. [1] All specimens attributed to the genus are interpreted as juvenile stages, referred to as either larvae [4] [5] or nymphs. [3] [6] It contains two described species, Idoptilus onisciformis, known from the Round Green open cast mine, Stainborough (Barnsley, Yorkshire, England), [7] [2] and Idoptilus peachii, known from Greenhill Quarry, Kilmaurs (Ayrshire, Scotland). [3] A specimen attributed to Idoptilus sp. is also known from the same site as I. onisciformis. [6]
